Question

Can someone look over my answers please?

Answer 1

Similar triangles \(\dfrac{8}{8+32} = \dfrac{x}{x+36}\)

Answer 2

First one isn't right.

Answer 3

@SFAdrienne If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two, then it divides them proportionately.

So, for the first problem, use the proportion 8/32 = x/36 to solve for x.

Answer 4

Thank you. :)

Answer 5

@SFAdrienne I think the second problem is incorrect.
If 3 parallel lines intersect two transversals, then they divide them proportionately.
So, 24/x = 36/12. Solve for x and see what you think.
